I have a Raptor 30. Actually, I have two, but am only referring to one. My question is about the servos. It has all Futaba S-148s. There is a digital on the Tail, but the other for are 148's.

How much better will this heli handle with digitals? I am considering 3151's. Or I have some Hitec HS-5625MG I could put in this heli. Would there be a significant improvement, or should I save my money?

Right now I am mainly hovering. I can keep it in a pretty tight area tail in. I can also fly a circuit.

I have a Raptor 30 V2 that I have flown with different servo's. I started with the DS-821's that came with my Spektrum DX7 on everything except the tail which was a futaba 9254 with a 401 gyro. I recently replaced the collective pitch servo with a JR8717 which did make a difference on how the heli handles expecially how responsive it is when doing flips. Using them on Aileron and Elevator made less difference and so I went back to the 821's there and saved the extra 8717's for my Raptor90SE(Under Construction). I am considering the RotorTech 570mm blades to see if that helps as well. However, I'm not sure those will work so I'm doing a little research first. Hope that helps!
